Nature Outcomes

Weaving Nature Outcomes into Corporate Nature Strategies

At |XAU, we design financial models that connect measurable conservation outcomes to industry-specific nature strategies.

We partner with Pivotal to ensure the highest standards in assessing and verifying conservation results, creating a tiered incentive structure for conservation teams. Payments are tied to specific recovery benchmarks for key species, with higher rewards offered for greater ecological success. While investors bear the initial risk to fund NGO efforts, buyers pay only for verified outcomes, following a structure similar to nature bonds.

Businesses can engage with |XAU Nature Assets by investing as shareholders or purchasing nature outcomes over five-year intervals, with payments linked to predefined performance scales. Transactions are carried out through biodiversity credits to ensure additionality and avoid duplication, even if those are priced according to nature outcome results.

Each project’s data collection and reporting is customised to meet your specific nature targets, offering transparent, auditable metrics through tailored dashboards. These dashboards track progress against environmental targets, providing businesses with clear insights into their contributions.

By aligning finance with conservation, |XAU facilitates investments that not only safeguard and enhance existing portfolios but also mitigate the growing risks of biodiversity decline—ensuring financial sustainability for those dedicated to its protection.

More than just a “Carbon Co-Benefit”

“Biodiversity credits are a novel financial instrument that could play a pivotal role in contributing to a nature-positive future. While there is no firmly agreed definition yet, biodiversity credits can be described as a verifiable and tradable financing instrument that rewards positive outcomes for biodiversity over a fixed period.”

Biodiversity Credit Alliance (BCA) is a voluntary international alliance that brings together diverse stakeholders to support the realisation of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, in particular Targets 19(c) and (d), which “encourage the private sector to invest in biodiversity” utilising, amongst others “biodiversity credits ... with social safeguards.”
